A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:

Hybrids now account for 29 of the 99 fixed route buses in the fleet. The Chapel Hill Transit system also uses a small percentage of biodiesel fuel across the fleet.

E85 (277 vehicles) and B20 (24 vehicles) fuel tanks on campus. Alternative fuels, synthetic lubricants, and more efficient vehicles have reduced Carolina's annual petroleum consumption by 23% relative to 2005.

The first three Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations are installed. The University plans to add 3 more stations in FY 2014. A new fee structure for parking permits covers EV owners seeking access to these spaces.
